made a vigorous attack upon labor organiza-

issue more important than the tariff or the

The Sloane Maternity Hospital and the Van

These Institutions, together with the new build
ing of the College of Physicians and Surgeons,
viii stand as perpetual memorials of the late
Mr. Vanderbilt. They are not only worthy
monument, but an exceedingly useful one. The
hospital supplies a lack that has long been
realized and it is to be entirely free. The OPP
portunitics afforded for obtaining a complete
and thorough medical education in New York
are now unsurpassed.

The sanitary condition Of the City Hall as
described in the report Of the inspectors is far
from cicditabic. 1t is really astonishing that
such shabby work has been done there and
that the plumbing has been allowed to fall
into so lamcntable a state. a few dollars
wisely laid out some years ago might have pre-
vented the expenditure Of large sum now
II the Plumbers have got the City Hal into
this condition, it is distressing TO think Of the
sanitary arrangements in some Of the big tcnc-
mcnt- houses that have constituencies landlords.

A Good Work.

1t is very certain that our wine maker,
and dealers are not imbued with that
spirit of "get up and get" that the peo-
pie of this State are noted for. To just
locker on, having no special interest
in this line of trade, it would seem as il
the wine makers of California were a
little lazy. While they are sitting by
their butts moaning the low prices their
product is selling at, the whole State is
startled by little work the Chron ictc
travelling correspondent did in London.
No one dreamt that ordinary California
wines would be held in such esteem in
that land of tradition as that expert
announced.
We thought all that work had been
done over and over again by society
of viticulturists that exists in this State,
and that their opportunities had been
spurned with scorn by British prejudice.
Judging from the length of their printed
speeches ut some OF the conieren ces
they have held, it would be an easy
task to suppose that no stone had been
left unturned to bring our wines to the
attention of those great wine-bibers. the
English. But newspaper man in hunt.
ing news for his paper does more good
honest work in less than an hour than
all their harangues ever did.-[Thomas'

FASHIONS Flowers.

The fashionable flower of the day in
England is the white chrysanthemum.
1t is worn as buttonhole, massed as a
bouquet, and nestled among moss for
table decoration, lightly veiled with
maidenhair fern. Tiated ivy leaves
very often form background for it. On
tables clusters of chrysanThemums OF
various colors and kinds are to be seen,
rich and beautiful in their individual
tints. For room decorations wild
growths are now sold in the streets by
ltineraut vendors which even last year
would have been cast aside as rubbish.
For instance, clusters of the brown,
dried up looking 'combs and brushes
or "teasers" from bitches. punches OF
red hips and haws, the black berries OF
the privet, brown grasses from marsh
lands are placed with the still favorite
bulrushes and feathery pampas grass
The ghstening white ''honesty" is now
seen towering aloft in vases, mixed with
pampas and black berried privet. The
trailing staghorn moss from Scotch
moorlands is arranged on dinner tables,
laid fiat, in and out of flower recepta'
cles and china bonbon plates, and lyco.
podium moss, studded with flowers, is
also utilized in the same way. The
crotons with their richly tinted leaves
are very popular for dinner table decor.

ness and impenetrability by shot mark
it as most desirable for sheating and
arming of ships. 1t is ulso stated that
barnacies will not adhere. The heavily
armed vessels of the present day sink
low in the water, with corresponding
slow rate of speed How admirably
would the metal fill all requirements In
this direction, combining safety and
strength OF armament with qulckness Of
movement.
With ali that can be said or thought
of in connection with the metal itself,
the possibility of the alloys has its full
share. At the present time these are
more widely used than the simple metal
The most familiar example is that OF
aluminium bronze, with it's 80 per cent
copper and 10 psr cent aluminium. Ar
ticles for daily use made from it are al.
ready yet unknown. Brass has its ex-
tensive application. But there is hardly
a use TO which this invaluable and ex.
pensive alloy has not been put that may
not be replaced by the aluminium bronze,
and in many cases with the greatest ad.
vantages. The deep yellow color, the
brilliant polish, unchanging in the at
mosphere, its greater hardness and re.
sIstence to sudden strains or brows,
are all in its favor. The present wide
application of brass to steam, plumbing
or gas fitting, for steam engines or ma
chimes where ornament is desired or ex-
cessive strain and wear must be resisted,
gives some intima,ion of possibilities in
this direction. The resistence of the
bronze is equal to that of steel, and, as it
can be readily fused and cast, its use for
heavy ordnance is most desirable.
Heavy cannon have been made at Wool.
wich, and have fully met all expectation,
but the enormous entailed expense has
forbidden the extended adoption.
The object of this sketch has been to
indicate somewhat the possible uses to
which the metal could be put, to poin.
out its advantages and disadvantages,
and to explain why such exertions have
been put forth to produce the metal on
the large acale. Such result has been
anxiously awaited. Itis not question
of material, but one of methods. The
problem is not yet solved, though the in.
dications are that the new electrical
method has been loug step forward
and will at least admit the metal to many
uses from which it has been hitherto de-
barred. The complete solution Of the
problem when the metal may compete
with iron even seems not impossible,
and such is to be awaited with the prom.
Use of great benefits to mankind and of
large returns to those successful in the
studs.-[Chcago Tribune.

The DecOIiete Bodice.

The Lady Rambler in the st. Paul
Globe says the old.fashioned decollete
bodice is coming into favor. 1t is cut III
a straight line back and front and the
sleeves are entirely on the arm--the
shoulders being LETT bare. This makes
them appear broader aud is a pretty
fashion for young ladies. The upper
part of the arm is covered by four
inch sleeve. A number of these bodices
were seen at the opera during the week
and most of them were fastened in front
by single pink or scarlet rose against a
green leaf-which is another revival of
an old fashion. Stout and noticeably
broad.shouldered women, or at least
those among them who have sense, still
wear the decollete waist with straps
passing over the shoulders.

In the political field the net result so
far is defeat of labor candidates in al
most every important contest, although
ths laborers had clear majority of
votes in every case had they been united.
The attention of the whole nation has
thus been called to the vital fact that
the labor vote mainly prefers to adhere
to the great parties and is not united
in its purposes. 1t has been unfortu-
nate for the future of the labor move
ment in politics that it becomes identi-
fed here with the free trade opinions,
and the use of labor organizations for
political ends has kindled much oppo-
sition among it's members. Indeed, Mr..
Powderly seems to have been not far
wrong when he said years ago, that if
the workers attempted to form politi-
cal party of their own, they would there
by take an attitude of hostility to large
proportion of their number, and so
would impair their influence in all other
directions. New York Tribune, Rep.

WHIM OF A TORPEDO,
A Can of NitrO.Glycerine Rolls
Down Hill without Exploding.

FRANKLIN, Penn, December 25.-A
great many narrow escapes from nitro
glycerine explosions in the oil regions
have been recorded, but none ever &c.
CURED since the Introduction of the
explosive SO miraculous as the one re.
ported from a magazine few miles
from this city. A torpedo agent visited
the magazine to get twenty-fve-quart
Can OF nitro. gly cerine. The magazine is
on the summit of high and steep hill.
At the bottom of the hill lives Patrick
Bunds and his family. After taking the
can out OF his safe, the agent carried it
out to the road, where he placed ir on
the ground while he returned to the
magazine to close the safe before placing
the torpedo in his wagon, which stood in
the road near by.
While he was at the magazine some.
thing frightened tue horses and they
backed the wagon against the can,
upsetting it. 1t at ence began to roll
down the hill towards Bunds' house.
The agent gazed after the rolling can
with horror, for as it went humping
along he expected every second to see it
explode and spread death and destruc.
tion around. Strange to say. the con-
cussions it met did not explode it, and
as it neared the house at the foot of the
hill the agent closed his eyes, as the can
was headed straight for the side of the
house, and he could not imagine any,
thing SO miraculous as the non-explosion
of the nitro glycerine after that collision.
The can struck the side OF the house,
and although it rebounded several feet
from the force of the shock, it did not
explode. 1t was some time before the
agent could recover sufficiently from
the nervous shock to make his way down
the hill and recover the can. In the
meantime Mrs. Bunds had come out of
the house to see what rhe mater was,
but did not discover the can. When
the agent reached the house he told
Mrs. Bunds what had happened, and he
picked up the can. The woman, al.
though the danger she and her family
had been subjected to had passed. was
so terrified at hearing that torpedo
had rolled with such great force egainst
her house, that she ran inside, and
bringing her three children with her ran
away from the house as fast rs she
could go, and never stopped until she
reached this city, where her husband
was at work.
A torpedo could not be subjected to
such rough usage as this one was with.
out exploding once in 10000 times. If
it had exploded, not fragment would
have been left of the house or its occu-
pants. s.-[Cor. Boston Herald.

She hath eyes that shame the night.
Deep and mystic, dark with doom,
Rich in thought, alive with light
When the passion flowers bloom.
And her lips are scarlet red,
Mute. and motionless, and calm,
Till a score of kisses shed
Loves elixir on their balm.
Soft and downy s iher breast,
Tranquil as virgin rose.
Now to rock in wild Unrest,
Like an ocean in its throes.
Bella, Bella,
Graziella,
Queen where Amos river flows.
She hath locks OF darkest dark,
Brow of snow and face of fire;
Tuueless is the singing lark
When she strikes her silver Tyre;
Arno's speech Is not as sweet
AS the music Of her voice
When she runs to meet and greet
The Luigi of her choice.
Myrrh and oleander dells
Bloom with beauties rare to see;
Yet within their shadow dwells
Not fairer nymph than sne;
Bella. Bella,
Graziells,
Heart and Heaven thrOb for thee.
Florence hath more stately DANES,
CARRIED in sill and decked with lace,
But they lack the living flames
Sweeping o'er her cherub face.
Plain-robed laeses often are
Each more bewitching prize
Than the blue veined proudest star
Cleaning from palatial skies.

With bumper from flash
OF the ruddy Tuscan wine.
